British Airways Flight To Hell Sits On Ground At JFK For 8 Hours Before Reaching Gate (With Reporter Aboard)

All the folks sleeping on floors at airports around the world can
at least thank their lucky stars they're not on British Airways
Flight 183.

According to the remarkably
restrained tweets of Economist correspondent Matthew Bishop,
who IS on BA 183, the plane landed at New York's JFK 7 hours and
35 minutes ago and still has not reached a gate.

If there's anything more infuriating than not being able to leave
for your destination, it's arriving at your destination after a
7-hour flight and not being able to get off the plane. Would it
be too much to ask just to have BA roll over a gangway?

(We actually thought this was illegal now, thanks to similar
marroonings in prior years. Snow trumps all, we guess.)
